UK Digital Identity & Attributes Trust Framework

Created by DCMS (Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport), the DIATF is a new government certification scheme for digital identity service providers. The trust framework aims to make it easier and more secure for people to use services that enable them to prove who they are or information about themselves. ID providers who meet the rules and obtain certification under the Framework will be awarded a trust mark.

Following a rigorous independent audit on various aspects, including privacy and data security, interoperability, accessibility and inclusivity, Thirdfort has been certified as a Digital Identity Service Provider (IDSP) under the framework for Right to Work and Right to Rent checks.
